cardiac tamponade
happens when the fluid sac around your heart fills with too much blood or other
fluid and puts pressure on your heart. This prevents your heart's chambers from
filling properly. Causing a decrease in blood pressure.
Supine hypotensive syndrome
Dizziness and a drop in blood pressure caused when the mother is in a supine

the inferior vena cava, reducing return of blood to the heart and cardiac output.
Baby soft spot
fontanel (two fontanel, anterior and posterior)
Vitamin K why is it given?

vitamin K. Vitamin K helps the blood clot and stops bleeding.
hydatidiform mole
also known as a molar pregnancy, is a rare condition that occurs during early
pregnancy. It happens when abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a
normal placenta. This abnormal tissue is not a viable pregnancy and does not
develop into a fetus.
